Confucius said: "If a state is governed by the principles of reason, poverty and misery are subjects of shame; if a state is not governed by the principles of reason, riches and honors are the subjects of shame."
The actual quote is:
“In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.” ~ Confucius
bonus:
“Wisdom is, when you know something, knowing that you know it; and when you do not know something, knowing that you do not know it.” ~ Confucius
